The main body comprises a sleeve body and a sponge located in the sleeve body, and the sleeve body is a sealed structure; an air nozzle communicated with the sleeve body is formed on the sleeve body; an adapted cap body is arranged on the air nozzle; a supporting pad is formed on the main body, and the edge of the supporting pad is arranged around a U-shaped inner ring of the main body and the main body is provided with a protecting device adapted with the supporting pad.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the technical field of swimming ringsof children, and particularly relates to a self-inflating breaststrokefloat for infants.

BACKGROUND

The swimming rings generally involve the children and the younggeneration. The swimming rings have the characteristics of safety,hygiene and novelty, and are the best product for baby fitness andgames. The swimming rings are cute in shape, attractive in style, brightin color, convenient to carry, and not bored to play, and are newestplaymates for babies.

At present, the swimming rings for infants mainly include a neck typeand an axillary type. The neck type swimming ring is easy to injure thecervical vertebrae of the infant and may severely compress the tracheato suffocate the infant. The axillary type swimming ring is easy togenerate buoyancy imbalance, causing a user to roll. Other types ofswimming rings also have some potential safety hazards. Because theswimming rings and the infant are not fixed firmly, the infant isseparated from the swimming rings and the infant falls into the water.

To solve the above problems, the applicant submits a breaststroke floatfor infants to China National Intellectual Property Administration, withannouncement No. of CN209479928U. The breaststroke float comprises amain body; a bottom surface of the main body is provided with a chestsupporting cushion, and the inner side of the main body is provided witha first waist protecting cushion and a second waist protecting cushion.The breaststroke float further comprises a first shoulder strap and asecond shoulder strap; one end of the first shoulder strap and one endof the second shoulder strap extend to a back surface of the chestsupporting cushion and are merged to form a crotch connecting strap; andthe first shoulder strap, the second shoulder strap and the crotchconnecting strap are connected into a whole or integrated in one piece.

The disclosed breaststroke float for infants is made of foam materialand a sleeve. Although the foam material has better stability andintegrity during use, because the foam material has a certain volume, alarger volume needs to be occupied during taking and placement, which isinconvenient to place and increases damage probability.
